Green Park Match Day Parking

Wonton Grange has changed capacity a few times. Obviously knocking the multi-storey bit down removed quite a few spaces !

They also used to have parking on the building site itself after it was knocked down, which for the last few years I don't think was the case. Interested to know whether that's included in the figure of 800 which STAR Voice has. If it is then with the loss of that area and the multi-storey a capacity of around 500 doesn't sound that implausible, it did seem smaller than it used to be.

Parking chaos last night, but hopefully only because many werent aware of the closure or other options

Mereoak another dream friday night and back in Basingstoke 45 mins after game finished! Unheard of!

Not sure of the queuing system however boarding the buses at the end of the match lol!

I don't think there is a queuing system, or at least not a workable one. One queue for two different buses doesn't really work.

Having to get to the bus stop from Y25, and having to walk the whole way round the ground to get there, does make me wish they'd rebuild the steps (much bigger/wider obviously) in the south east corner.

Yep, totally agree with that, the one big downer is the walk all around the stadium

It was a bit of a free-for-all on Friday night but hasn't been like that most of the season.

especially when they just make you walk through all the oppo fans after the game anyway. not sure what the point is. it unnecessarily annoys our own supporters, for no gain whatsoever.

makes no difference to me personally as in in the NE corner and its equidistant either way

[leon]

do they still put the fence up by the East stand ? I always walk round the other side because they always used to - it's become a habit now

[Maneki Neko]

yes they do, and I don't really understand why

[Forbury Lion]

After the game there were queues all the way through Whitley and up Whitley Wood Hill, my footy bus was caught up in it - I'm guessing this is due to more people parking in the area instead of Worton Grange.

As I couldn't get a space to park at the Holiday Inn on Friday, I decided to risk it and headed off to Green Park. No checks except for a security man outside of CGI. If Green Park are introducing more stringent checks, it didn't happen on Friday. Possibly the email was just for show, or they are holding back because Friday wasn't the right time.

Many thanks to everyone who has suggest Mereoaks. I'm going to give it a go. I can't see much chance of a capacity crowd until the start of 2017, assuming the start of next season we get off to a flying start.

Does sound like a touch of sabre rattling from the Green Park mob.

Just a heads up, Green Park's multi story car park (near Regus) was being guarded today - for the first time this season (from what I can work out). Given that it was a lower attendance, it didn't appear to make much difference to parking. I know that a few fans have used this car park - so I don't know how many people it affected. The entrances to the Green Park estate were open though.

[paultheroyal]

Another mereoak success.

What will work for me if I go alone with the little lad is the fact I could leave my house at 2pm knowing I will be in my seat at 2:50pm.

Friends are continuing with regus. Still ok for them and no mention of what Clyde witnessed on Saturday.

....busiest I've seen the Green Pk exit roads after the match for many a yonk - didn't notice any 'plastic policemen' en garde on the northern access road before the game either, as mentioned above.

No sign (yet) of our preferred spots along Gillette Way being 'double yellow-lined', as fore-warned by Council notices but I expect it's only a matter of time.
Will only be an issue this season now for the Brum & PNE games, as Morrisons is OK for midweek matches.

Possibly it depends on what time you turn up - I arrived at 2:05, so they may have gone by the time that the main bulk of traffic arrived. The guard was specifically at the Regus multi-story car park and all the access roads were open when I got there. In the last few weeks, I've arrived around thirty minutes before kick-off and there hasn't been anyone there - so it is possible that they were gone before many people turned up.

Ah cool - cheers. If anything this has opened up other avenues for me.

Didn't take The Holiday Inn long to cash in on the increased demand for parking in their area. Last night the price had increased from £7 to £8.

I hope the bloke collecting all of that money for them has demanded a similar increase in his wages.

Which is the cheapest parking now (not looking for free) within reasonable walking distance of the stadium?
